Overview
The importance of prospecting by telephone in developing new sales opportunities cannot really be overstated. It is the one element of the sales cycle upon which all other activities depend.
Without a regular supply of well-qualified and active prospects, there is no opportunity to demonstrate your company’s services and products.
If there is one thing that a sales person – any sales person – can do in the short term to increase their sales results, it is to increase the number of active prospects, and that means increasing the number of appointments and that usually means picking up the telephone.
This course is designed to enhance skills and build confidence at cold calling techniques to make appointments i.e. opening the call, building interest and qualifying, overcoming objections, closing the call.
